DESCRIPTION:Join us for an AI and the Law conference with professor Benjami
 n Alarie\, University of Toronto.\n\nAbstract\n\nArtificial intelligence a
 nd machine-learning are now improving our understanding of the law in taxa
 tion and employment. Over the course of the coming decades\, the insights 
 engendered by these new approaches to law will give rise to new fields of 
 research.\n\nOne of the key areas of research that will be developed furth
 er and deeply affected by machine-learning will be comparative law. In the
  near term\, researchers will explore sub-national and international dimen
 sions using machine-learning\, highlighting the positive similarities and 
 differences in approaches to factually similar disputes across sub-nationa
 l and international borders. In the longer term\, normative aspects will t
 ake precedence.\n\nI speculate that ultimately the positive and normative 
 developments will lead us to a legal singularity\, in which legal uncertai
 nty is radically curtailed and almost entirely eliminated.\n\nAbout the sp
 eaker\n\nBenjamin Alarie is the CEO of Blue J Legal and holds the Osler Ch
 air in Business Law at the Faculty of Law at the University of Toronto. Pr
 ofessor Alarie researches and teaches in taxation law and judicial decisio

 ersity of Toronto as a full-time professor in 2004\, Professor Alarie comp
 leted graduate work in law at the Yale Law School and was a law clerk for 
 Madam Justice Louise Arbour at the Supreme Court of Canada. His research h
 as been funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council\, th
 e Canadian Foundation for Innovation\, and the Ontario Ministry of Researc
 h and Innovation. He is a coauthor of several editions of a leading legal
